Solved: overheating

Intel Core i5 2400 @ 3.10GHz 96°C

is it normal??
how to reduce if its too much

i use this software namrd piriform speccy to get these reading ,
and somtimes at these peak temp computer tends to lag and the fan over processor is a bit shaky but i changed the termal paste jst 2 months before

 

No, that is not normal. That is extremely high and dangerous to your motherboard and processor.

You will need to remove your heatsink and fan, re-apply thermal paste, and properly re-seat them.

 

Very dangerous. As flavallee said, I'm surprised it's not shutting down either and it would be helpful to know what you're doing to cause that high of a reading. A bit more information could be very helpful.

Is there good air flow in your case? Is there a lot of dust (I've learned the hard way you need to periodically clear out the dust in your computers)? Are your fans working properly/are your fans good enough?

Then it sounds like this was done improperly or the fan has malfunctioned.

You need to clean our your case, remove the heatsink and fan, re-apply thermal paste, and re-assemble.

 

When you re-did the thermal paste did you use 90% Isopropyl Alcohol to clean off the old compound? When you re-applied it did you use a very thin layer? Too much will ast as an insulate and trap the heat. When you say the fan is shaky it may indicate all four legs of the heatsink are not fastened down which is very easy to do with Intel heatsinks.

 

Very important point. I use an exacto blade to apply the thinnest layer across the CPU surface.
